Growing this purple was easy Going most of the way, Only drawback was she grew so big it was hard anchoring her down in the basket from the tilts, but once she was down she put on a show. Her heavy Buds were thick, hard oozing resin was potent and sticky I quickly scooped up some falling Trichomes from beneath my tray Loaded my chamber 220c and 8hrs later I finished my day.Probably could have taken half that time had i not loaded that first bowl then the next....... 😎 Just a tad over 12 Oz on my quest to hit 1 pound per plant. Some exciting Donated Seeds Coming My way. Stay Tuned Find out who they are and What I'm growing next, Going to be some exciting shit. Thanks for following😍

In the second Week i started to give them a few nutrients. Maybe a bit too much, as you See in the last 2 Videos. Since its very cold (-5°C) in Germany i've put a heating cable losely around the pots to Heat Up the soil a bit.

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Bit more progress this week. I feel it is slow growing for whatever reason. Hopefully she will pick up in the coming weeks.

Similar conditions as last week, but the plant is getting bigger, so is drinking more, I was finally able to feed the plant 2 times in one week. This week I also introduced a foliar spray. I applied the foliar spray 1h after the lights turned off, next time I need to give it a bit earlier, right after the lights turn off. I also used Mycorrhizae this week as well I feel that the initial problems that I had been solved, the plant is growing at a normal pace now. DAY 30 - Water PH - 5.80 PPM- 531 Solution Temp - 22 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 33 - Nutes PH - 6.02 PPM- 1600 Solution Temp - 21 Watering Volume - 1.2L Foliar Spray PH - 5.21 PPM- 1450 Solution Temp - 21 Watering Volume - 100 ml

Posting this as I’m on the last few days of the 3rd week from germination Great progress, a lot of roots for such a short period but not too much plant growth, will start watering daily instead of watering every 2-3 days Topped the girls today (Day 18 from germ) and starting to do mainline on all the Bubba kush.

Buds grew nice and strong..acted like a topped auto. There was no real main cola. But, instead there was 5 of near the same height. She didn't grow as expected. But, grew with great vigor. And pushed herself to give quite the bounty. Not a lot. But, what is there is so sticky. Stinky. Very earthy. With a very sweet undertone, can already get the hint of melons or something sweet like that when you grind it. It is an earthy smoke. And no doubt she will truly shine on a 2 month cure. And that's what this small harvest is going. Into the jars for 2 months. I've taken 3g and put it into a small jar, and will give a smoke review on it. After I feel I can justily do so. She glistenings with resin and her trichomes are bountiful. She has a very pungent earthy sweet musk that is lovely. I have vaped a bit. And it was very pleasant. The stone was deep and intense. Like a true indica. She did give a light sativa affect but was quickly washed away with a strong indica body high. 3 months later and the bud developments terpine profile became very potent with a strong pedgiree of a nice melon/earthy/sweet kush. Love this auto. Am awaiting a new batch of seeds from my friend from Kannabia and new lighting systems that will no doubt increase my overall success in grows sponsored by marshydro COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO Use code, "ggs", at any marshydro official site for a discount.

Week 9 / pictures at 63 days old. So everything has been pretty much the same as last week. No vertical growth but everything looking fatter and frostier! Still soaking up lots of water - 1.5litres every other day with 3ml of bloom nutrients in each. Removed a fair few leaves today - the unhealthy old ones from round the bottom and the ones getting in the way and touching the buds. Purple skunk buds still looking fatter than sticky orange. Sticky orange pistils started turning orange last week so I think she is going to be ready first but with a smaller yield. Purple skunk pistils have started turning orange today. Temperatures are higher this week and have reached 30 in the tent but spring is here so temps in general are higher outside. Was hoping it would stay lower as I really wanted the purple skunk buds to turn purple! They apparently prefer it cold before the purple comes out. But we’ll see what next week brings. I feel like we’re on the home stretch now. Each week gets more and more exciting and I just want them to get FAT! Again, pictures and videos just don’t do them justice - they look so much better in the flesh!

I feel like this is week 7 of flowering not week 6 I think I may of missed a week at the beginning of flowering. I have been feeding her a 25l mixture of feed a week. 3.3 ltr a day. It has been taking this really well, been doing for 2 weeks now. Going to start my flush on 20/10 and also planing to drill her on the same day. Will take photos. She is really starting to fatten up now, can see them buds get bigger and bigger everyday!!! Still keeping the feeds up trying to get as much as I can in her!!!! Still keep the comments coming in!!!! Is she amazing or what!? Start the flush when!? When to harvested her!? Would love to know what everyone thinks!!!

Day 36 start of week 6. Nothing new to report. Day 38 fed girls 2 liters each nutes .Did light defoliation and adjusted ties for the Lst. Moved light strength to around 85 percent and moved light up a couple inches to see how the react.Day 39 watered with gallon distilled water with Cal-mag phed to 6.3. Each took a gallon of water. Pat Benatar is up to 23 inches tall. Blondie is short and extremely bushy.And only a foot tall. Banana Purple Punch is around 22 into tall. Today is day 42 and end of week six.

NL#2 is bulking more and more, NL#1 is about 5 days behind NL#2. NL#2 still has the phosphorus/calcium trouble, won't get better, the others don't have that problem and receive the exact same nutrients. Ori is not bulking anymore, trichomes are 80% cloudy 20% clear, will probably chop it in a couple of days, but not everything since I don't want the plant to die and rot when it is still in the tube with the Northern Lights. Upped the air temperature so that the RH stays lower and the plants seem to like it. Keeping the reservoir temperature low with ice blocks.

Half gallon nute feed. Trichomes still a little glassy. Dense budding 👌🏾. 60-65 days for both ladies will open the window. Flushing soon.

Welcome to my GranDaddyPurple Auto Diary sponsored by MSNL & Spider-Farmer. Flower Days 1-14 Days 43-56 weeks 7-8. Plant moved nicely along pre flower. Didn't gain much height stands just shy of 53cm. Buds are gaining weight. Withstanding the High Temp. Done a light defoliation No mad foxtailing yet. But, as she moves out of ripening I've no doubt she'll start to push out some tails. She did pick up what was going to be a lovely fade. But, sadly I messed up somewhere and she lost her pigment of her purple. So, just gonna have to stick with a lovely chunky colorless monkey. Her buds are lovely and fruity, stinks of pungent berries. Really happy with this Auto. I like to try all breeders autos. And I'm happy to say. I see a lot of MSNL auto in my future. Hopefully next time. I'll be more on my game, and grab an purple pheno for my troubles. But, I doubt I'll have such hard environment to grow in. With co2, things can turn on their head with a lighting session. SE5000 sponsored by SPIDER-FARMER. Light is very impressive giving me some amazing bud. Only been ran at 80% also. As I'm running lots of fems in early development. So, 80% is the max I'll reach for now with this powerhouse of a 480w full spectrum beast. Also running 2 other strains from this breeder that are steaming along. Check them out. Thanks to all who stopped by and viewed, or liked & commented. Much appreciated. Look forward to seen your work. Either way thanks for stopping by.

Good growth and upward spurt in full swing with the pre-flower sites lengthening. No more LST now. Water consumption is about a litre a day. But.....a couple of leaves have some brown spots!!!!! Arghhhhhh. Perhaps the base soils nutrients were dying off? Who knows, started flower nutrients at a 1/4 strength. Fingers crossed no more brown spots.
